Al Yankovic's "When I Grow Up", is brilliant. It is a fun filled book full of rhyming. Billy explains all the things he wants to be when he grows up in a detailed and creative fashion. He thinks since his grandpa has done so many things that he can too. Not only does this book teach rhyming, but it also teaches children that they can be anything and teaches about relationships.

The media used for this book is watercolors. Various shapes are used throughout the book to enhance the story and keep the reader interested in the illustrations. The illustrations are successful in making a person want to turn the page since every idea Billy has just seems to get sillier and sillier and the illustrations show this perfectly. The artistic style in the book is very cartoon like which works well with the story since it is told by an eight year old boy who has crazy ideas and a love for life.

This book would be one that I would choose for a read aloud in my classroom. The rhymes are something where the students could get involved in it too. I could also use this book to introduce a lesson on rhyming or to teach about careers.
